I vehemently dislike the tax cut because it is regressive and adds 1.5 trillion to the deficit according to the GAO.
Take a walk down to the Economics Dept and talk to a non Progressive economist. Also check the record Federal Income Tax REVENUE after the tax cuts. Due to a GROWING economy, more Tax REVENUE is being generated at the lower Tax Rates. The pie is getting larger, and therefore, so is the government's pieces they take.
Progressives love higher tax RATES as they think this is a way to get government more money. It often acts as a way to slow the economy which can result in less tax REVENUE. Focus on tax revenue, not tax rates.
The Feds, and many states have a SPENDING PROBLEM, not a Revenue problem.
